Jaunting Cart Ride

Today’s outing was to Muckross House. Just getting there was half the fun! We took a Jaunting Cart ride through part of town and the National Park.

It was fabulous. We saw deer! Two different kinds. The larger were red deer which are native to the region, and the smaller were Japanese water deer (I think). We also saw a heron catching his breakfast.

The driver gave us lots of funny details about what we were seeing. My favourite was when he pointed out a large tree and told us that it was a beech. He then asked us to look at the smaller tree just behind it and said that it was a “son of a beech”.Weiterlesen
